Garden Path Kickoff

Staying cooped up indoors was getting old, so the second the front door clicked ajar, I slipped right past the mat and scrambled down the porch steps! Down on the brick path, my paw bumped into something hard and glossy—a bright blue glass marble lodged in the moss. Challenge accepted! I gave it a solid kick with my back foot. Whoosh! It shot across the pavers, bounced off an old terracotta pot with a sharp clink, and zipped straight into the sunny space under a wooden bench. I dashed right after it and pounced, pinning it against a curled leaf before it could escape. Outdoor soccer is officially my thing!
